Supreme Court Judge Mohamed Ibrahim has threatened to sue lawyer Ahmednassir Abdullahi for publishing defamatory tweets against him and other judges. Justice Ibrahim through his lawyer Wambua Kilonzo has demanded an apology from Ahmednassir within seven days or face a lawsuit. Ahmednassir allegedly tweeted defamatory words against the judge over the Wajir Governor election petition where he alleged that judges of the apex court were bribed to uphold the election of Governor Mohammed Abdi. In a majority decision, with Chief Justice David Maraga and Justice Isaac Lenaola dissenting, the judges said the High Court and Court of Appeal wrongly assumed jurisdiction to rule on the Governor’s academic papers.
